Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
About The Program
Goodwill is helping older job seekers learn new job skills while training at public and nonprofit organizations in their communities such as housing agencies, food banks, libraries, schools, senior centers, and child care centers. The goal is that program participants will take the skills they learn in the program to gain employment in the private or public sector for which wages, or wages and tips, are paid that equal or exceed the federal hourly minimum wage.
When older job seekers come to Goodwill, employment specialists deliver thorough needs assessments, create individual employment plans, administer basic skills classes and assist in job placement, training and eventual transition to non-subsidized employment. Goodwill's SCSEP effort has helped more than 8,502 older workers in local communities since 2006.
Goodwill® proudly participates in the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), a national employment and training program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. A $22,129,747 grant from the U.S. Department of Labor provided 90 percent of the funding for Goodwill's SCSEP programs in the program year 2025. Goodwills provided the remaining 10 percent through in-kind contributions worth more than $2,458,861.
